Ah, the mango-habanero marriage. Bright, fresh heat that bursts through your mouth and nose like the sun warms your skin when you turn your face up to it. Yeah; yeah I am being poetic because what’s happening when you mix orange habenero peppers with ripe mango is amazing. Throw in some pineapple, cilantro, lime juice, and red onion….dear god.

So, how do you get that action? I love a good salsa, so let’s start there.

Mango-Habanero Salsa

Special Equipment

• Blender or Food Processor

Ok, I have salsa, so now what?

Well, my friend, I will list the pairings in order of raddness with this salsa.

• Shrimp
• White, mild fish
• Shredded chicken
• Shredded pork
• Diced chicken
• Diced pork

You can also just scoop it up with chips and let the magic happen that way.
